DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This new Pillar volume offers exceptional commentary on Mark that clearly shows the second Gospel though it was a product of the earliest Christian community to be both relevant and sorely needed in today's church. Written by a biblical scholar who has devoted thirty years to the study of the second Gospel, this commentary aims primarily to interpret the Gosepl of Mark according to its theological intentions and purposes, especially as they relate to the life and ministry of Jesus and the call to faith and discipleship. Unique features of James Edwards's approach include clear descriptions of key terms used by Mark and revealing discussion of the Gospel's literary features, including Mark's use of the "sandwich" technique and of imagistic motifs and irony. Edwards also proposes a new paradigm for interpreting the difficult "Little Apocalypse" of chapter 13, and he argues for a new understanding of Mark's controversial ending.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Gospel of Mark is an undiscovered gem, hiding in plain sight. Mark s story at least from the vantage point of a twenty-first-century audience is virtually unknown. Following broader trends in Christian history, Latterday Saints have focused on the other Gospels. Mark s Gospel gets very little attention and, when it does, it is usually read through the lenses of the other Gospels, with the result that Mark s distinctive voice is muted. But the Jesus presented in Mark s Gospel is worthy of study: He is a man of action and few words. He is witty, warm, and wise. He s also the Son of God. He has power which leaves people in awe, and he uses that power to help the people most people don t like. He hugs little kids. He listens to and learns from women. He banishes demons and reminds parents to feed their children. He doesn t know everything, but he does know how to end chaos. His disciples usually misunderstand him, but he teaches them continually and patiently. This Jesus is betrayed an

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →To read the book of Revelation is to see a myriad of representations pass by our gaze, offering and kaleidoscope of bizarre and incongruent images. This world strikes us at first as fearfully and mysteriously strange and fantastic. But once these symbols are properly deciphered, they combine to present crucial messages for those living in the last days. These messages were designed by God to lead all successfully through these troubled times if they will read, hear, and do his will. This commentary presents a comprehensive analysis of John's book aided by the lens of LDS doctrine and Mormon experience. God delivered his messages in the form of images housed within discrete visions, with each symbol explaining, exposing, or emphasizing various aspects of the message conveyed. The challenge is getting beyond the symbols to the represented realities. Information is drawn from all the Standard Works, the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, and from modern Prophets and Apostles.
